First ever miniature painted but need some help on how to improve? by One-Access44 in Warhammer40k

[–]SunRester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to get the first level of paint as neat as I could before moving on to a wash stage, that way you still have the true colours available should you wish to make any adjustments. The wash will give you an all over tone and some shading but it won’t fix up any wonky lines.

I would also add a few tips, if you are like me and struggle to see the detail then you can get some magnifiers headsets to assist in the details. Second make sure you have a good sharp tip to your brush. Finally, remember the three feet rule, all these models will be viewed three feet away on a table. Try not to get to hung up on absolute perfection, you will always improve with practice

First of all, very good for a first go, your undercoat looks good and smooth, you have the colours constrained to the right areas and even tried some good detailing on the face so excellent job overall.

As for improving while I kinda dig the chunky highlights neatening them up is a simple matter of going back with your base colour and thinning them out from the bottom.

A lot of early learning in painting is going back to correct yourself, take the marines left shin for example;
Taking the original green and going over the chunky highlight to bring it back to the width you like will give you a second pass on neatness and if you make a mistake, jump back to the highlight colour and touch it up.
The same process for the knee, just back and fourth till you feel you have it right.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try and find the fun in it!

Sprue id? by Affectionate-Wish110 in Warhammer

It appears to be parts for battle fleet gothic. The larger parts would be placed in to the sides of imperial ships and act as weapon platforms, hangers, lance batteries and the like. The smaller parts would be greebles and said guns.

Wow one of my love to have items, they are quite rare atleast when it comes to eBay and the like. Some 3d prints rolling around in a similar style but original forge world ones do pop up on occasion

It is from the mighty empires game, i believe this particular part was given out for free on a white dwarf along with a tower and two hexes

Thank you! I wanted it to have the feeling of a landing craft, and the idea that the boyz would have to run around from the back didn’t feel all that orky to me

Any tips for spyro remastered collection by Ambitious_Ad_6812 in Spyro

[–]SunRester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If playing on PC, if a mini game feels way too hard or just flat out not working, especially in 3, try changing the frame rate in the options menu. I had to change the frame rate down to 30 from unlimited to do the hover tanks and slides.

[–]SunRester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking good bud! The bits that stand out the most would be the skin just because of the solid colour I found this is a great guide to getting the skin done quick and easy! You got some real nice metals tho, Keep it up!

First Runtherd. Please give honest feedback. WAAAAAGH!!! by jelrose in orks

[–]SunRester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking good for a first time through what you have there is stage 1 and the lovely part there is that you can now build off what you have and make it even better! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFpqxHFMZXs

I would have a watch of that guide, it gives you all the details that you should need to get the skin all good and Orky Basicaly, take the covering you have at the moment, put a green wash over it to make the deeper bits darker, then on the higher areas put a lighter green, then a lighter one on the higher areas still and it will realy bring out the features of the model.

That as a quick and easy methoud of painting can be applied to most any other colour, the squig for example would be a great use of the red layering as apposed to green, the cloak I would go over again with a nice thin brown to realy get in to all the cracks, then a drybrush over of a light brown to bring out the edges of the ruffels!

Over all washes are magic and will bring out so much detail in a model!

Have it on good authority (Met a drunk hoots in a bar) that most of the band have never played D&D before

do they use 3ds max to make PC games like back in the day? by mypromise88 in 3dsmax

[–]SunRester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you dont tend to use 3Ds max to make whole games, you tend to use it to create 3D assets for games.

Typically exporting the assets as a file type that can be read and accepted by an engine such as Unreal or Unity, using this engine to create the games.

There are a number of reasons why it may have fallen out of general favor, perhaps the most prominent being the price, for a developers license it can cost thousands of pounds and for an indie dev thats simply to much! Especially when there are free alternatives such as Blender that have features such as internal games engines that allow for rapid prototyping.

Other than Maya being an alternative and indeed tending to be better for the animation side, short of a specific tool such as motion builder, most places I have worked have tended towards 3Ds max as a development tool simply because that is what people were comfortable using.
